Hey everyone Today was Blue Mountains day! With the job hunting blues no longer getting us down, we got ready to have an amazing last day in Sydney. Before leaving, we had to change rooms a final time, and as the Mardi Gras festival was approaching, the hostel had almost run out of rooms so we had to be in separate dorms. Christina was in the girls only dorm, and wasn't happy that it smelt like feet. Alex was very confused that there were a couple of spare beds...

Hey everyone Today was video diary day! Last night we decided to leave Sydney much earlier than we had originally planned. Job hunting had been unsuccessful and though we had initially planned to stay in Sydney for about 6 weeks, we now thought it was best to move on and up the east coast. We could then find a job somewhere, maybe on the harvest trail, and stay there for 6 weeks. So today we were going to see all the sights of Sydney that we hadn't seen yet bu...

Hey everyone Today was... another job day. Don't worry, its starts vaguely exciting. Our first port of call was... The City of Sydney One Stop Shop.

First she went to a couple of temp agencies that dealt with backpackers, but ...

We booked an additional 3 nights yesterday (as we had come to the end of the 5 nights we originally booked), and for some reason were upgraded from the six bed dorm we'd been staying in so far to a four bed dorm.
